The Burden of Time
The burden of time
Can turn on a dime
And so can the clouds
In the sky
Cover the sun
And when they’re done
Be gone like a speck
In the eye
Nothing is missing
When everything’s gone
When the known has flown
To parts unknown
There is no right or wrong
The burden of time
Turns on a dime
Just like clouds
In the sky
The rays of the sun
Are for everyone
No need to wonder why
Nothing is missing
When everything’s gone
When the known has flown
To parts unknown
There is no right or wrong

Shining Lights

Shining Lights
Little kids at play
Happy with the day
They are shining lights
That never go away
Far above the fray
No time for yesterday
They are shining lights
That never go away
Running to and fro
Everything to know
Following the river
Where the river wants to go
Always safe and warm
Sheltered from the storm
They are shining lights
That never go away
